LONDON: FRIDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 14. 183 g. `We notice with satisfaction that the connection we have pointed out between the abolition of the Corn laws and the decay of the Established Church begins to he appreciated in the country. We have seen it referred to with approbation at public meetings ; and we therefore seize with eagerness an illustration of the doctrine, that if the public can throw the Established Church on the landed interest exclusively for support, we shall have those now close and dear allies in the oppression of the people—the Aristocracy and the Hierarchy—arrayed against each other. The following letter is rather old, bearing date August 13 ; but it seems to have been recently published in the York Chronicle, and transferred from that journal into the Brighton Gazette of Thursday, because of the writer's approbation of some articles which had appeared in the Gazette, and bespeak a community of faith on the question of the Act for commuting tithes. The doc trine of Mr. E. DUNCOMBE finds many supporters, no doubt, amongst the Yorkshire titheowners, some of whom have already declared, at Northallerton, their independence of and superiority to the State; as well as amongst the parsons of the south, who speak their sentiments through the Brighton Gazette. Their doctrine may be guessed at from the following letter ; but we must remark, that it seems doubtful whether, in Mr. DuNcomnE's first quotation, " Those who devise how to put out whom GOD will exalt," means the parochial clergy or the landlords : THE REPEAL OF THE ENGLISH TITHE BILL TO TN& PAROCHIAL CLERGY OF YORKSHIRIi. " Thei r d ev i ce i s on l y h ow t o p u t out w h om God will exalt." Ps. lxii. 4. Men and Fellow Servants—l some weeks ago ventured confideutly t o t h row myse lf upon your good faith - and under under- standing, f avourably to account for my beseeching you, as trustees hir e d f or t hi s very purpose, to stand true to the rights of the Churches and parishes committed to you, and so much the more as there is increase of scandalous apostacies and plausible concession s in high places. For whatever good may have resulted from the humble (and as some contemptuously say, the vain) efforts of so weak a vessel as myself, God be praised : not caring one farthing for the evil report of doing what I feel to be my duty to do, all I appropriate (and in this I rejoice) is the encouragement to persevere; and, thank God, I find too much of this to keep it all to myself; and, there fore, having long wished to make y partners of my joy, I now deter m i ne to avail myself of the cu liberality of the Editor of the York Chronicle to call your attentive perusal to two letters, No. V. and VI. of a series in the Brighton Gazette, which has been of late sent to me, with assurance that the cause of ;veal is by no means either hopeless or unpopular in Sussex. " Hopeless !" Why did you ever think it so ! 0 ye o f little faith then l Bear with me in my folly : ye compel me to boast a little. Have I not told you from the beginning " This law can never stand ?" " Unpopular !" Who but liars ever said that the repeal of the wiched Act was so anywhere? But time shall prove all thip.4s. I will only trespass further at present to invite union among ourselves ; and whenever any of you, few or many, poor or rich, are disposed to form an Association at York, in order to bring the rights of the question openly, publicly, without mistake or compromise, before the working classes of this kingdom, you may make the best use of me though we be g i n i n a small room you can ; and , yet if we o not uickly fill the largest landl or d i n the world with conviction th a t ours is the popular cause, and that tithes are the heritage of the people as well as the Lord's, we will at least find out some means of provoking inquiry and discussion on the point ; and this only do I desire, that truth and justice may prevail. I will send the other letter next week. No. V. shows how the rule of the landlords in changing the tithe-law is only to put out whom God will exalt. No. VI. brings before the public an exception in the person of Mr. Aldridge —a known gentle.. man well by name to all w h o knew Sussex, and the Lord reward t • im, if he doe s no t now turn his back upon the working classes on his estate ; for there are they for whose re_ demption :tithes are chiefly ordained, a n d against whom in all ages yet to come the greatest wrong is consummated by the andwithon our one side heart : impropriation of tithes. right Brethren, be very courageous; phalanx, h avo s; w come, then, let us form a close . and one voice defy v might when might defies the truth. with you, by G o d' s h e l p, Believe me, Parochial . g, to the end—the restoration , of tithes to the local purp oses E. DUNCOMBE. in which th e Lord has blessed and sanctifieth their use. Newton Kyme, Tadcaster, Aug. 13, 1838. __ Now, when the Lord's heritage and the landlords' estates come to clash, as they do in the case of the tithes, we know from the Corn-laws how utterly un scrupulous the landlords will be as to the property which is devoted, according to Mr. DUNCOMBE, to the redemption of the working classes. Already the priesthood, fearing the landlords, find it necessary to fall back on the people ; they are courting popularity. If therefore we can sharpe n the landlords' cupidity to• seize the Lord's heritage—that is, the Divine right of the priests to share the landlords' estates, and doom the land to partial barrenness—we shall surely drive all the priesthood over to the cause of the people. If we can get rid of the Corn-laws, we shall have the whole Hierarchy returning to the very primitive prac tices of the Church—defending popular rights, appealing to the masses for support, and becoming the advocates of Universal Suffrage. We consider it, therefore, of some importance that we should illustrate the presumed effect of the abolition of the Corn-laws, particularly as the Committee of the Working Classes have referred to the subject with doubt, and to that we shall now devote a few observations. The doubts of the Committee all hinge on the fact that the present Corn-laws date from 1815, and that prior to that period, when corn might be freely im ported into England, no such disastrous effect to the Church Establishment, as we now presume to antici pate from the abolition of those laws, actually oc curred. It is inferred, therefore, that now to return to the same free trade in corn would not have any such effect. But those who state the doubt, overlook or forget the previous condition of Europe. The tithe system was only abolished in France at the beginning of the Revolution ; and about the same period some of the States of Germany began to get rid of it. At present through the greater portion of the Continent, and particularly of that part of it which would supply us with corn, the tithe system no longer exists, or in such an attenuated form, that it has little or no in fluence on the price of corn there grown. But, from the commencement of the French Revolu tion, till 1815, the whole of Europe was devas tated by war, and it was at that period only that the tithe-free corn of Europe came first into com petition with the tithe-burdened corn of England. That competition was not allowed to continue, and, to keep out of England the tithe-free corn of Europe and the tithe-free corn of America, the Corn-laws were enacted. Thus the condition of a free competition in our market of tithe-burdened home-grown corn, and tithe-free corn from all parts of the world, has never existed ; and what happened therefore prior to 1815, is no guide whatever, even to infer what would happen were the Corn-laws to be abolished in 1838. What:we suppose would be the result is this. Corn is a perishable article ; and it is well known that a very small quantity more than the required supply suffices, at all times, to beat down the markets very considerably. When the seasons consequently are good, and the crops abundant, that corn which is grown at the least expence—(not as the eco nomists say, as a general rule, the corn which is grown at the greatest expence)—deterrnines the price of the market. Those who contend for the contrary overlook another most important fact, namely that the great majority of the cultivators of the soil are debtors, by the necessities of their condition, before they can gather in the harvest, and consequently they are like orange merchants, with a cargo that will not keep beyond a few days, obliged to send their grain to market and sell it for what they can get. With a complete' free trade in corn, then, we should always have comparatively an abundance ; and that rule which now only applies to favourable seasons—or rather a constant approximation to it—would, with the, pre sent ingenuity and skill of man, be the general rule for some time to come, or till population completely overtook the possible supply which could be raised or obtained from all the world. But if corn grown at the least cost would, with a free trade, determine, as we contend it would, the price of corn in our markets, it is clear that the landlords could not then levy one penny of the tithe tax on the consumer, as they at present levy the whole of it on the price of their corn. Thus, if the Corn-laws ,were now abolished—and this the cunning landlords practically feel—the whole burden of the tithes, and so far the whole burden of the Episcopal Establishment would be thrown on their estates. Then would come a severe conflict between the landlords and the clergy, one contending for their estates, and the other for the " Lord's heritage ; " and that such a conflict would overthrow both these idle classes, and make both the humble supplicants to the now outraged and suffering' industrious classes, we hold to be as clearly demon strated as anything can be which has never had existence. Could Universal Suffrage do more for the people ? The Committee of the Work ing Classes, however, though anxious to make laws, are, it is obvious, not aware of the bear ings of this very important question, and they would do better, in our humble judgment, to study it than to divert the attention of the people from the present opportunity of getting rid of the Corn-laws, to the vain pursuit of re-modelling the House of Commons. " It is not unworthy of observation," says the Man chester Guardian," that, whilst Air. OASTLER urges the Tories to arm to resist the New Poor-law, Mr. VINCENT, and other worthies of the same school, urge the Radicals to arm in order to procure Univer sal Suffrage; and Mr. Thom A s ATTWOOD, in a recent missive to one of the London Papers, advises a recourse to means of the same kind with the view of obtaining a depreciated currency. Amongst Tories, Radicals, and currency-doctors, we seem to be in a hopeful way." To this must be added the Guardian's own agitation, in which we and many others share, and which seems about as extensive and formidable as any in the lot, though arming is not recommended to pro cure the abolitio❑ of the Corn-laws. Society is in fact now a struggling mass of conflicting opinions. The hubbub of great mental strife prevails, and the words of each party are not without meaning. Our differences are not about such questions as once amused the schoolmen and the monks. We are not agitated to decide how many angels could dance on the point of a needle, or what are the real forms of things. Such petty disputes as those between the Homoousion's and the Hom oiousion' s, have no charms for us ; our differences are large, substantial, distinct, and glaring. They touch the dearest interests of men, and go to the very foundations of political society. The prevalent diseases are of the heart of States as of individuals. Under such circumstances what say our doctors — what are our leading Journals and statesmen doing ? The latter are out shooting, paving and receiving visits, ducking in the sea—perhaps, to gather strength for another sham campaign in Parliament, which like the naval battles of the middle of last century are all at long balls. They waste a great deal of powder and shot, producing a great deal of smoke and noise, but achieve nothing, not even, according to the common notion, clearing the atmosphere of the lowering and threatening storms. Our present race of politicians are not equal to the fly on the wheel, for they neither set it in motion nor can they boast of the dust they kick up. And what are the former doing, the great leaders and guiding organs of opinion. See the Times —why, the Thunderer, the great OlymPian JOVE of the Press, is, according to his own boast, be come, as he happily defined a Tory, a poor duck legged drummer, always behind the regiment. His thunder is not louder than the sound of a cracked drum beat by a tired infant's arm, and has not more influence than that would have in Staying the march of an army. Vain is the hope of turning men from these mighty objects, and stilling the fierce desires of the human heart by a few well balanced phrases. The Times waddles on in its best and most polished graces ; it beats its reveilles and its retreats with the most skilful hand ; but all writing about the danger of Greece, or the blockade of Mexico, the bad behaviour of Mr. O'CONNELL, or the danger which threatens some popular notions, are only feeble strokes on a cracked drum, while the great interests of the Corn-laws, and Universal Suffrage, and the Established Church, and the growing and growling hostility between the land and the titheowners, and the general danger to the legal right of property, fill the hearts of the people. True indeed to its old incendiary character, it nourishes a little pet pauper sedition of its own, by patting Mr. OASTLER on the back, and at the same time expects, like one of the poorest spooneys of the day, to rally all minds under the old orthodox stan dards of Church and State, peerage and hierarchy, monopoly and restriction, plunder and hypocrisy, by beating on its cracked drum, day after day, a solemn and well measured tattoo about the geology of the ig norant Israelites. If there be anything, at this time of political confusion, more ludicrous and contemptible than that of our statesmen amusing themselves by shooting partridges, or counting the waves on Deal beach, it is the great Thunderer endeavouring to lead public attention to the detention of a ship and he r cargo, or to the internal dissensions of an almost un known State, and away from the danger with which the present conflict of opinions, when all prescription is upset, and all political principles are cast loose, threa tens our vast and varied society. We have received so many communications on th e subject of the few remarks which we made upon the Ministerial career of Mr. POULETT THOMSON, that we are in some sort driven to enter at greater length than we at first intended into the official merits of the Right Hon. the President of the Board of Trade. Some of the Right Hon. Gentleman's too officious friends fancy, no doubt, that they cause us some un easiness by jogging our memory on the score of his Parliamentary services. It would be surprising, in deed, if, in the course of some twelve years of a Par liamentary, and eight of an official life, a gentleman of some influence, and setting out with a declaration that his political principles were strictly in ac cordance with those of the Honourable Mem ber for Kilkenny, could be pointed at as hav ing done nothing more useful to the country than the receiving of a salary, and the assisting at a Cabi net Council. Mr. POULETT THOMSON, it will be remembered, entered Parliament in 1826 as the pro tege and disciple of Mr. HUME, who introduced him to the electors of Dover, and up to the date of his ap pointment to the Vice-Presidency of the Board of Trade, under Lord GREY, he acquitted himself to the satisfaction of the Liberal party. As he had signa lized himself by his denunciations of all restrictions upon trade, his appointment to the Vice-Presidency of the Board was hailed as the commencement of a new political era by the Liberal Journals throughout the country. It was a wonderful advance in the practical administration of Government to replace the race of ignorant lordly drones, who for centuries mono polized the chief seats at the Board of Trade, by such practically experienced men as the " young Baltic merchant," then one of the brightest luminaries in the galaxy of politico-economical science. From Vice-President of the Board of Trade, under Lord GREY, he was made President under Lord MEL BOURNE ; and then it was expected that one of his earliest boons to the country would be a Trade Bill so comprehensive as to render the very Board of which he is the head an useless, and therefore unne cessary, establishment to the kingdom. Has he done so ? Has he fulfilled a single expectation formed by the Liberal party throughout England upon his ap pointment to office ? Are his principles now in per fect accordance with those professed by Mr. HUME in 1826 ? While a Member of the Opposition he was loud in his denunciations of the Baltic Timber duties. Has lie in his Ministerial capacity brought forward a Bill to abolish them, and thus add to the stability o f our navy ? He was all for the Ballot while perched on an Opposition Bench, but as a Minister he was no where to be found when the question was last before the House. His attention to business has been often referred to as a rare excellence. We admire industry in a Minister, but mere drudgery is not statesmanship. An hour of labour from some men, is worth a week's plodding on the part of others. We care little for how busy he may have been—we ask, what has he (lone ? Has he even proceeded the length of purifying and reforming the constitution of the very Board of which he is President ?—a Board which EDMUND BURKE—a Whig, and nothing mo re—proposed more than half a century ago to abolish altogether. Perhaps some of our over-attentive correspondents would be glad to be reminded of that Statesmen's opinion of the utility of that branch of the public service under the immediate controul of the Right Honourable tho Member for Manches ter, and for their convenience, no less than their edifi cation, we shall quote it. The Reformers of Manches ter, as well as the mercantile world generally, are left to judge how much of the following description of the constitution and labours of the Board of Trade in 1780, the date of Mr. BURKE'S celebrated speech on Financial Reform, is applicable to the operation of the same Board in 1838, under the Radical Presidency of POULETT TIIOMSON " There is, Sir, another office which was not long since closely connected with this of the American Secretary ; but has been lately separated from it for the very same purpose for which it had been conjoined ; I mean the sole purpose of all the separations and all the conjunctions that have been lately made— a job. I speak, Sir, of the Board of Trade and Plantations. This Board is a sort of temperate bed of influ ence ; a sort of gently ripening hot-house, where eight Members of Parliament receive salaries of 1,000/. a-year, for a certain given time, in order to mature, at a proper season, II claim of 2,000/., granted for doing less, and on the credit of having toiled so long in that inferior, laborious department. " I have known that Board, off and on, for a great number of years. Both of its pretended objects have been much the object of my study. I can assure the House, and I hope they will not think that I risk my little credit lightly, that, without meaning to convey the least reflection upon any one of its Members, past or present, it is a Board which, if not mischie vous, is of no use at all. " You will be convinced, Sir, that I am not mistaken, if you reflect how generally it is true, that commerce, the prin. cipal object of that office, flourishes most when it n i d s left its to neces sities it self. Interest, the great guid e o f commerce, is not a blind one. It is very well abl e t o find its ow n way ; a are its best laws. But if it were possible, in the nature of things, that the young should direct the old, and the in experienced instruct the knowing; if a Board in the State was the best tutor for the counting-house ;if the desk ought to read lectures to the anvil, and the pen to usurp , the place of the shuttle--yet, in any matter of regula tion, we know that Board must act with as little autho rity as skill. The prerogative of the Crown is utterly in adequate to the object ; because all regulations are, in their nature, restrictive of some liberty. In the reign, indeed, of Charles 1., the Council, or Committees of Council, were never a moment unoccupied with the affairs of trade. But even where they had nu ill intention (which was sometimes the case), trade and manufacture suffered infinitely from their injudicious tamperings. But since that period, whenever re gulation is wanting (for I do not deny that sometimes it may be wanting), Parliament constantly sits ; and Parliament alone is competent to such regulation. We waist no instruction from Boards of Trade, or from any other Board ; and God forbid we should give the least attention to their Reports. Parlia mentary inquiry is the only mode of obtaining Parliamentary information. There is more real knowledge to be obtained, by attending the detail of business in the Committees above stairs, than ever did come, or ever will come, from any Board in this kingdom, or from all of them together. A n ass id uous Member cf Parliament will not be tke worse instructed there, for not being paid 1,0001. a-year for learning his lesson." " This Board, Sir, has had both its original formation, and its regeneration, in a job. In a job it was conceived, and in a job its mother brought it forth. It made one among those showy and specious impositions, which one of the experiment making administrations of Charles 11. held out to delude the people, and to be substituted in place of the real service which they might expect from a Parliament annually sitting. It was intended, also, to corrupt that body whenever it should be permitted to sit. It was projected in the year 1668, and it continued in a tottering and ricketty childhood for about four or five years; for it died in the year 1673, a babe of as little hopes as ever swelled the bills of mortality, in the article of THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1838. convulsed or overlaid children, who have stepped over the threshold of life. " It was buried with little ceremony, and never more thought of till the reign of King William, when in the strange vicissitudes of might and vigour, of good and ill-success, that attended his wars, in the year 1695, the trade was distressed beyond all example of former sufferings, by the piracies of the French cruisers. This suffering incsased, and, as it should seem, very justly incensed the House of Commons. In this ferment they struck, not only at the Administration, but at the ♦ery constitution of the Executive Government. They attempted to form in Parliament a Board for the protection of Trade ; which, as they planned it, was to draw to itself a great part, if not the whole, of the functions and powers, both of the Admiralty and of the Treasury ; and thus, by a Parlia mentary delegation of office and officers, they threatened ab solutely to separate these departments from the whole system of the Executive Government, and of course to vest the most leading and essential of its attributes in this Board. As the Ex ecutive Government was in a manner convicted of a dereliction of its functions, it was with infinite difficulty that this blow was warded off in this Session. There was a threat to renew the same in the next. To prevent the effect of this manaauvre, the Court opposed another manesuvre to it; and, in the year 1696, called into life this Board of Trade, which had slept since 1673. " This, in a few words, is the history of the regeneration of the Board of Trade. It has perfectly answered its purposes. It was intended to quiet the minds of the people, and to compose the ferment that was then strongly working in Parliament, The courtiers were too happy to substitute a Board, which they knew would be useless, in the place of one which they feared would be dangerous. Thus the Board of Trade was repro duced in ajob ; and perhaps it is the only instance of a public body, which has never degenerated; but to this hour preserves all the health and vigour of its primitive institution r' In 1826 Mr. POULETT THOMSON, following the example of the honest but taciturn citizen of Bristol, would have cried " ditto to Mr. BURKE ;" but then he was not a Cabinet Minister, nor had he the sha dow of a chance of ever being placed at the head of the Board of Trade. For all efficient Legislative purposes, and even for the purposes :of inquiry, the Board of Trade is as valueless now to the country as it was in the days of BURKE. There is not a single branch of commerce legislated for on the authority of facts supplied to Parliament solely by the Reports or other documents presented by that Board. The whole business of inquiry is thrown upon the shoulders of Committees of the two Houses. It may be urged, perhaps, that titled ignorance of the details of business no longer presides at this Board—that its Pre sident is not, as in times past, a mere Court favourite, but a merchant as much talked about for his business talents as for the ultra-liberalism of his political opinions. , There is something in the principle of choosing for the conducting of any department a person who may be fairly presumed qualified for such an office ; but we doubt whether the history of the Board of Trade affords an example of blundering equal to that of Mr. POULETT Tnom soN's Trading Companies Act of 1837. We defy any Lordly Noodle in the British Empire, to give a stronger proof of Ministerial incapacity, in any depart ment, than Mr. POULETT THOMSON has exhibited in the passing of an Act inoperative from its inherent clumsiness. So much for the practical knowledge dis played by Mr. POULETT THOMSON, in conducting the business of a Board, which, in the emphatic lan guage of EDMUND BURKE, " if not mischievous is of no use at all." Let us now hear Mr. BuftKE's plan for relieving the country from the mal-administration of this Board—a plan neither hastily framed, nor lightly recommended, by one of the most cautious of Whig Statesmen : " It is therefore, Sir, on the opinion of Parliament, on the opinion of Ministers, and even on the opinion of the Members of the Board, of their inutility, that I should propose to you to suppr . ess the Board of Trade and Plantations; and to re commit all its business to the Council, from whence it was very improvidently taken; and which business (whatever it might be) was much better done ; and without any expense ; and, indeed, where in effect it may all come at last.' Here we must conclude for the present. Howerer, our Correspondents may be under no apprehension of our forgetfulness of Mr. P. THOMSON'S Ministerial existence. We, of the Liberal Press, have something like a right of property in the " sayings and doings" of the Right Hon. Member for Manchester. A Correspondent signing himself " A Traveller" has this day called our attention to the strange conduct of the Commissioners of Customs. One would sup pose that their intention, if they have any intention at all, is to make all communication with the Continent as inconvenient as possible, in order that we may re main an isolated people as much as we were under the dominion of the old Tories. We know from sad ex perience that there is a great deal of the leaven of Toryism in most of our public establishments; and the apathy which the Government has shown in the instance adverted to, independent of many others, proves that the Whigs have no small portion of the same leaven. Complaints 'without number have been made against the annoyance to which persons are sub jected on having even the smallest quantity of luggage passed through the Custom-House, yet not the slight est abatement of the nuisance has been effected. What can be more absurd or more insulting to a free people than to see a satellite of these Commissioners coining on board a vessel as it comes up the Thames, taking from tie passengers even hand-baskets with the remains of provisons, and other articles of the most trifling value, throwing them in a heap into the hold, detaining them for four hours at the Custom-House, and not releasing them even then till a charge of 6d. is paid for every separate package, however small. What could be more easy than to issue an order that all ordinary luggage should be examined immediately on the vessel reaching its destination? But unfor tunately most political parties only think of the people when they are out of office ; and the Whigs, the pro fessed friends of the people, are not an exception to the general rule. Another communication which we publish to-day on the Mosaic Deluge will convince the public that bold confidence in dogmas to arrest the progress of correct knowledge must give way. We daresay something more to the purpose than is said by BEREAN can be brought to support the opinion that a knowledge of the whole extent, globular form, and daily rotation of our earth on its own axis, was familiar to MosEs, and the generations of men who lived long before him. In the meantime as BEREAN has " come to the rescue," and to the aid of the Times, we give his communication for what it is worth. The Paris Journals of Wednesday seem especially flattered by the appointment of the Duke de FRIAS to the Presidency of the Spanish Council. The Duke, it will be remembered, figured as Spanish Am bassador at the French Court, and is therefore pre sumed very favourably disposed towards the policy of the CITIZEN-KING. Whether such an impression be well or ill founded, matters very little at the present moment. The Journal des Debats copies from the ullilan Gazette of the 6th inst., the following amnesty for political offenders of the Lombardo-Venetian king dom, conveyed in a letter from the Emperor of Aus- TRIA to his uncle, the Archduke-Viceroy of ITALY : My dear Uncle—On the occasion of my Coronation in the Lombardo-Venetian Kingdom, I have thought proper to de termine as follows : '" 1 . I remit the remainder of the punishment of all the individuals belonging to the Kingdom who have been con demned for State crimes, and who are now undergoing their punishment. ,c 2. I desire that all trials begun for political machinations before the tribunal of this kingdom be immediately suppressed, and that they do not continue for the future any political act antecedent to my present resolution. 3. The and compromised in the political plots against the safety of the state, have been exiled to places expressly designated, shall be immediately set at liberty. ,4 4. I desire that any political measures or surveillance (precetto politico) imposed up to the present be suppressed. 5. The political emigrants belonging to the Lombardo- Venetian kingdom who wish to re-enter their country may profit by the disposition of paragraph 2 ; they must, how ever, make a demand for permission and wait the answer which I shall think fit to make to each application, taking into consideration the interest of the public welfare; and con- k formably with my paternal intentions, I desire that political emigrants who do not wish to re-enter the kingdom be au thorized to emigrate, provided they make a demand to that effect in the regular forms. " 6. The demands for leave to re-enter into as well as those to obtain the authorization to emigrate from the king dom must be presented by the petitioners within the space of a year from the publication of my present resolution. That time expired, those who shall not have made such demand will be treated with rigour according to the laws now in force. In communicating this to you, I pray you to take the necessary steps for its prompt and entire accomplishment. " Milan, Sept. 6. " FERDINAND." This very comprehensive Act of Amnesty will not fail to render the EMPEROR extremely popular in Italy. The patriots GONFALONIERI, PALLAVICINI, POND, VISCONTI, UGONI, and SALVIA TI are no longer in the situation of criminals exiled from their native country. Austria has dared to set a liberal and generous example to France. What remaining news is to be found in the French Papers of Wednesday may be gathered from the fol lowing paragraphs : ENGLAND AND PlRSlA.—Details of the English expedition to the Persian Gulf have been received, as the Courrier Fran cais states, via Bagdad and Egypt. " The numerical force of the expedition," this Journal adds, "is small, but its conse quences will not be less important, as 2,200 men landed at Bushire will serve as a point d'appui for Farsistan, and the other Persian provinces that have refused to submit to the Russian influence which rules Mohammed Shah. The resistance of these provinces commenced before the land ing of the English, whose support, however, has repeatedly been solicited since the death of the late King ; and the nature of the country is such that Russia can never gain there the same footing which she has ob tained in the north and north-east of Persia. The last ac counts from Lahore lead to a belief that Runjeet Sing has decided to join the English without reserve. The positions, at this time, occupied by his troops on the immediate frontier of Kandahar and Cabool, sufficiently indicate the events they are destined to provide against. It is also worthy of remark that the East India Company has within a few months fur nished the Rajah of Lahore with a considerable supply of arms, which are not, as in former times, such as have been rejected, but the same as are put into the hands of the Sepoys in the British service. It appears that Russian officers have been sent to Runjeet Sing, and that hopes of a successful result to the negotiations entered into with him have been entertained, but have hitherto been deceived." M. GISQI7ZT, Ex-PREFECT OF POLICE.—The Messenger makes a long statement seriously inculpating Gisquet, ex- Prefect of Police. The accusations are, first, the crime of having seduced the wife of his friend, refused to fight tho latter, and of having fled into the country, leaving an offer of 150,000 francs fer satisfaction. The injured person has do cuments to prove that in his situation of Prefect of Police M. Gisquet committed exactions of every kind, and that he gained 427,250 francs by the famous musket contract. The following is the official notification of the birth of the Count of PARIS, addressed by the KING to the Swiss Federal Government : " To my very dear and good friends, allies and confederates, the President and Deputies of the Twenty-two Cantons com posing the General Diet of the Helvetic Confederation : " LOUIS PHILIPPE, King of the French, to our very dear and good friends, the President and Deputies of the 22 Cantons composing the General Diet of the Helvetic Cenfe deration, greeting: " Very dear and good friends, allies, and confederates, the intimate conviction we have of the interest which the worthy Cantons of Switzerland take in all that concerns us, induces us not to defer announcing to you the happy deli very of the Duchess of ORLEANS Princess Royal of Franc e , our very dear and well-beloved daughter-in-law, who has just been delivered of a Prince, who has received the names of Louis Philippe Albert, Count de Paris. In participating in the joy occasioned to us by an event so important to our family, our happiness, and the prosperity of France, you will give us new testimony of the sentiments you have so fre quently manifested towards us. You mnst be convinced of our constant desire to give you proofs of our attachment, and it is with true pleasure that we seize this opportunity of re newing the assurances of our sincere esteem and our unalter able good-will. Upon this, we pray God to have you, our very dear and good friends, allies, and confederates, in his most holy keeping. " Written at our Palace of the Tuileries, this 24th day of the month of August, in the year of Grace, 1838. " Your good friend, ally, and confederate, (Signed) " LOUIS PHILIPPE. (Countersigned) " MOLE." SPAIN. The Eco del Cumercio, says that Cabrera has already levied contributions on the kingdom of Valencia, to the amount of 11,000,000 of reals, (3,000,000 of francs). He has besides obtained large supplies of provisions, and added 600 to his cavalry. It seems that some apprehensions were felt at Sara gossa, respecting the intentions of some Royalist Chiefs, since the great triumph at Morella. The Christino General Par dinaz, with part of his division, has hastened to Saragossa. Great exertions are made in repairing the fortifications of Morella, which were injured during the siege.—Gazette de France. There is nothing official in the Moniteur this morning. The " Adone" corvette, Capt. Fornier Duplan, arrived on the 7th of the month in the road of the Isle of Aix, from the Isle of Bourbon, bringing back Rear- Admiral Cuvillier, late Governor of that colony. A letter from Toulon says that the " Cyclope" and " Vul cain" bombards, and the " Zebre" brig would sail on the 10th for Mexico. Off Cadiz they will meet the " Nereide," Rear- Admiral Baudin's flag-ship, the "Medea," " Creole,"" Gloire" and " Currassier." This little flotilla, consisting of eight vessels, will proceed to the Island of Sacrificos. The " Chimere" steam-boat, which left Gibralter on the 25th August, which arrived yesterday, the 7th, at Toulon, left Barcelona on the 6th, and has brought despatches, which are said to be important. The " Eugenie," corvette of burden, which arrived on the 7th, left the Galetta on the 29th August, with despatches from Admiral Labarda. Nothing important had happened. The English squadron had not appeared again since the 12th, and nothing was known of the Captain Pacha's squadron, which is probably on its way to Tripoli. The " Phare" steam boat, for Algiers, arrived at Toulon in th? night of the 7th. It left Algiers on the sth, with despatches for the Government, which are supposed to be important. .—Le Constitutionnel. FRENCH FUNDS.—PARIS, Sarramaza 11. Five per Cents.. 109 f. 25e. 20c. 15e.

Brussels and German Journals of the latest dates have been received this morning. The former contain no news. From the latter we take the following extracts : HANOYER.—A letter from Hanover, datz.'d Sept. 2, in the Leipzic Gazette, mentions the report of an intealled marriage of the Crown Prince to a daughter of the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg Strelitz. The public go still further in ti,Cir conjectures, and do not stop at the marriage of the Crown Prince. The melancholy state of the eyesight of our beloved Crown Prince may one day give occasion to a political pro blem, as there never yet was an instance of a Sovereign's ascending the - Throne in a state of blindness. Any thing that in the public or feudal law of Germany that might be applied analogica.llylb such a case would decide against it. And as the present RoYal Harfoierian theory that the Councillors of the Crown are responsible to that only, and not to the country, might appear even to the Crown itself too hazardous in the case of a blind Sovereign ; and as there is no intention of giving up this main point of the present system, even in a new Constitution, it was necessary to think •of some other means of getting out of the difficulty, in case, as it is to be feared, the operation which is to be per formed should fail in restoring the Prince's sight. The insti tution of a Regency might•be liable to difficulty because the collaterals could not well be passed over; and it seems re solved once for all that they shall be left out of the question. With which view the proposed new Constitution left it to the King, - in appointing a Regency, to pass over the collateral relations, and appoint a Prince of some German house, not actually reigning. The Assembly of the Estates, indeed, in the discussion of the new Constitution, demanded that this Prince • should belong to a Sovereign German house, to cut off the possibility of appointing a Prince of S. (Solms) Regent, instead of the collaterals; but whoever might be appointed Regent, there would still be objections to a Regency. First, on account of its long dura• tion, and then because the Regent might abuse his power. Now it is thought that these difficulties may be in part removed by the marriage of the Crown Prince. If the Crown Prince had a on (which is taken for granted), this son might be of age, or nearly so, by the time his Majesty the present King should be called away. The Crown Prince would then re sign in favour of his son, and the discussion of the unpleasant question whether a blind Prince can ascend the Throne would be wholly avoided. Even should the young Prince be a minor, the Regency would•not be of so long duration as if it were instituted on account of the blindness of the Sove reign. Many persons conjecture, too, that on the death of the present King, if the country or the Assembly of the Estates, did nothing with respect to the succession, yet the collaterals would raise objections to the capability of the Crown Prince to succeed; but if he had already a son and heir, the case would be very different.
